COUNCIL chiefs were branded spoilsports yesterday after banning residents from toasting William and Kate.

Stirling Council warned revellers that public boozing restrictions will still apply on the big day.

Despite Prime Minister David Cameron telling people to ignore local authority red-tape, a council spokesman said: "The council has not made any order relaxing the byelaws but enforcement is a matter for police, who have discretion with regard to offences."

Charles Reid, 63, from Stirling, said: "It's the one day of the year when the council should let people celebrate a happy event.

"We're not talking about going on a drunken rampage but a glass of bubbly to toast the royals."
